A review by saareman
The Vivisectors by Missouri Williams
4.0
Teaser for Novel to Come
Review of the short story as published in Astra Magazine (July 20, 2022)
Missouri Williams recently announced via X (formerly Twitter) that their next novel would be The Vivisectors, to be published in the Spring of 2026 according to an article in The Bookseller.
Two years sounds like an extremely long leadup time for a work that was complete enough to be the subject of a bidding war by publishers. Presumably there are still editing and proofing stages to be done so it remains to be seen if that will be the true schedule.
In the meantime, there is this excerpt (perhaps Chapter 1?) which was made available online via Astra Magazine in July of 2022. If the title alone wasn't disturbing enough, a read of the 7-page story will confirm that the upcoming novel is likely to be as shocking as William's post-apocalyptic novel [b:The Doloriad|57845084|The Doloriad|Missouri Williams|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1624826086l/57845084._SX50_.jpg|90619166] (2022) even if it is the supposed "satirical campus novel" as described by The Bookseller article.
